Alma Media organises its business in a way that causes a minimal environmental and climatic impact. Alma Media complies with permissions obtained from regional Environment Centres and works for the protection of the environment together with authorities and other interest groups.
 
The most significant environmental effects of Alma Media’s business are the consumption of paper and energy, as well as traffic emissions. The corporation’s newspapers are mainly printed on newsprint, the total consumption of which in 2008 was approximately 36,000 tonnes.
 
Waste generated in printing is either recycled or taken to hazardous waste plants. For example, oil-based printing inks end up in energy production, and printing plates made of aluminium are recycled as raw materials for the automotive or furniture industries.
 
The company used 18,838 MWh of electricity in 2008 (20,632 MWh in 2007). The decrease is due mainly to efficiency improvements at the various Alma Media locations. The carbon dioxide emissions of the printing and distribution operations are mainly due to traffic.
